Meagamann

This is lot better than 6.8 stars it has now. It is one of the best thrillers in a while. Watch it you won't regret.

An intense thriller that sheds light on the deadly cold war between powerful drug cartels and the police. We have seen such gangster vs cop thrillers in Tamil cinema before but this movie takes the genre a few notches up though the movie execution is quite similar to the 2003 "Khakka Khakka" acted by Surya. This plays more like a Hollywood cold war spy thriller in Tamil

Meaghamann takes a while to pick up, with the director taking his time to introduce the dozen or more major characters. But once we get the background info on the various gangs, cops and the moles on either side, we are drawn into the plot, which is intricately woven and manages to keep us on the edge of our seats. The pre-interval portions, especially, are quite tense and intense Firstly this movie does not have much songs and any intro songs, hard hitting music to introduce ajith, vijay or any popular heroes to establish the characters, it just goes right into them without wasting time on unnecessary distractive introductions or comedy scenes . The director Maghil Thirumeni have previously directed the ultra dark crime noir movie "Thadayara Thakka" but in this movie has avoided direct gruesome or violence scenes but concentrated more on thrilling the audiences with mindbending wits and shrewdness. The killing of a police officer after being discovered is mentally gruesome scene which lets u imagine the aftermath rather than show it all .We can see the director;s touch for such scenes from Thadayara Thakka A few loopholes in the movie which are barely noticeable But, Maghilzh Thirumeni has a flair for staging tense sequences as proved in his previous film, Thadayara Thaaka, this too, has some solid nail-biting moments) and that helps us look over the flaws. An definite upcoming director soon the join the ranks of Gautham menon

Do not go in expecting chartbuster songs as the songs are pretty non existent in this movie

THe art direction and camera-work is top notch and apt for the film. the only lacking aspect is the background score which seems to be minimal.But overall adds on the tense mood throughout the film. overall the director carries the crime noir from his previous movie into this one albeit slightly differently . Highly recommended .

Story and screenplay are gripping. Hero's role was modeled beautifully as an intelligent guy capable to handle any kind of situation.scenes with heroine might be considered calming down scenes in a intense movie, but they are OK. More of a thriller rather than family, commercial flick. It may not go well with Indian audience.Hats off to director in writing a good script and directing. Editing is below par, should have been better. background score is just OK for a thriller. A little bit fun element would have made it better. A must watch for all Tamil audience. better than most of the recent action movies. The scene before the interval and after the interval were awesome

Worthy Watch movie, Nice acting and nice screen play, The movie starts with nice screen play were Arya is an under spread cop IPS officer who jointly work with rowdies for many years and look for correct time to catch all the rowdies and head, while he hunt down the source inside his group to discover numerous secrets.

Movie begins right from the first scene and goes in an unfaltering pace till the end. no much comedies and no much punch dialogs.

Heroine has no role in this movie.

Over ALL Good........

Meaghamann is an slick film. The screenplay was very interesting and unique to Tamil cinema. There were quite a few twists and turns that made the movie interesting and fast-paced.

After almost a year, Arya is back. He has proved that he has the talent to carry the weight of the film. Hansika is terrible. The director tried to showcase a different side of a heroine (other than a glamor role) but it failed. She was quite abusive and rude and her dubbing voice did not always match her expressions. Also, some of her dream sequences towards the end of the film were 'offensive,' giving wrong impressions about herself and Arya. Her friend was also pointless. The three main villains of the film (Ashutosh Rana, Ashish Vidyarthi and Sudhanshu Pandey) each did a good job. Unfortunately there were too many characters in the film that it was hard to give everyone equal screen time. One of the villains were forgotten only to be given a random scene towards the end of the film as a reminder that he was in the movie.

Editing and cinematography were pretty good. The former helped the movie move at a reasonable pace but the latter was very simple but effective.

The songs by S. Thaman were forgettable except for the background score and theme music.

Overall, this film was quite good. Had the director reduced the amount of characters, this film would have been even better.
